having problems getting gps to work with widgets

[Brad]

My widget FC on launch and it appears to happen when it checks to see if the gps is enabled. Here is a copy of the log file. Has anybody else been able to get gps to work with a widget?

** Service (trackservice) Start **
** Service (trackservice) Destroy **
** Activity (main) Create, isFirst = true **
** Activity (main) Resume **
** Activity (main) Pause, UserClosed = true **
** Service (trackservice) Create **
** Service (trackservice) Start **
** Service (trackservice) Start **

If gpsloc.GPSEnabled = True Then

Try to disable the debugger.
It seems like the real error is different than the one you are getting because of the debugger.

Disabled debugger. Here is what I get.

Here is the simple update sub. I removed all but the one line and am still getting the same error.

Sub rv_RequestUpdate
   gpsloc.Start(0,0)
End Sub

Ok, if there's a reward for repeating boneheaded mistakes I would be the champ. I forgot to init the gps object. :BangHead:

I need a big post it note on my monitor that says in big letters "DON'T FORGET TO INIT"
